Chapter Eighty-Nine: Little People
The orcs made a big circle in the vast primeval jungle, and when they could see the fortresses on the outskirts of Dunhold, Song Zheng had already mingled with those little frost wolves, and he had become an excellent frost wolf...... Keeper.
Because of his relationship with Thrall, the orcs around him were very good to him, and he also took the opportunity to learn a lot of orc speaking, as for the orc language, even the orcs themselves did not know most of it, it is said that only the elders or shamans in the clan can fully grasp the orc language, and there are quite a few differences between the different clans.
It's just that the names he gave to those little frostwolves made the orcs quite unhappy.
Even Sal couldn't help frowning after listening to Song Zheng's names for those little frost wolves: "It's okay if this youngest one is called Wangcai, what do those who are called rich, noble, auspicious, and profitable mean......"
In addition, Orgrim has always been cold and repulsive towards him.
Song Zheng didn't pay much attention to this, he remembered that in the history of Warcraft, Orgrim Hammer of Doom should have died in battle during an attack on a concentration camp, and the Hammer of Doom also fell into Thrall's hands, but he didn't know where it was.
However, judging from the time, it should have happened recently.
Naturally, he wouldn't bother with a dying man......
Although they had reached the outskirts of Dunhold, there was a dispute among the orcs over whether to attack the surrounding small concentration camps or attack Dunhold Castle directly.
Thrall wanted to attack Dunhold Castle directly, he was familiar with it, and feared that attacking the small forts around it might warn Dunhold's guards.
However, Orgrim Doomhammer insisted on rescuing all the orcs, and attacking the weaker forts first would continue to replenish the orcs' strength, and as long as there were enough troops, it would be easy to attack Dunhold.
In the end of the argument, it was Orgrim Doomhammer's opinion that prevailed, after all, he was the former chieftain of the orcs, and Thrall had only just become the patriarch of the Frostwolf Clan, and it was mostly because of his father's legacy.
Attacking those small concentration camps did not require Song Zheng's participation at all, and there was no need to even dispatch a large army of orcs, just Thrall with hundreds of elite orc warriors could easily capture a concentration camp in a remote place.
It's not that the human soldiers are too incompetent, it's just that it's been too long, and almost everyone has already relaxed, and even when the news of the orcs escaping comes, everyone just uses it as an after-dinner conversation.
In addition to being good at charging, the wolf cavalry of the orcs is still very powerful when attacking cities, which is far from being compared to the human cavalry.
It's just that the orc captives that were rescued were also languishing even after they were freed...... After more than ten years of captivity, these orcs have lost their will, and they are no different from ordinary coolies!
Thrall was helpless about this: "In Dunhold Castle, almost all the orc captives are like this, and the little orcs born in the concentration camp have long forgotten how to fight. ”
"This is indeed a heart-wrenching thing, and it is estimated that only blood and fire can restore them to their former glory." Orgrim Doomhammer deplored this.
After all, no one wants to see the once powerful orc warriors become a group of slaves, especially as Ogrim Doomhammer is also the chief of the orcs, although the original defeat was mainly due to the fact that Gul'dan took a large number of troops, but as a chieftain, he must also be responsible.
To Song Zheng's surprise, before the next rescue operation was launched, Sal had already released him and let him go to Dunhold Castle alone.
"You're leaving me alone in Dunhold? Aren't you worried that I'll take the opportunity to escape? Song Zheng was a little surprised, because if he was directly asked to go to Dunhold City, he could take the opportunity to leave, or even go to Gaomi, the defenders in that city.
"I'm sure you wouldn't, if you were like that, you could have handed me over to those human cavalry." Sal smiled and gently patted Song Zheng on the shoulder.
The corners of Song Zheng's mouth twitched, Sal's strength was too strong, even if he patted it gently, it made him feel a pain in his flesh, but it was indeed a very good feeling to be trusted by others, even if the other party was just an orc.
"Okay, but remember your promise not to kill the other humans in the city too much after rescuing Dunhold's orcs." Song Zheng said in a deep voice.
He remembered that in the history of Warcraft, Dunhold Castle was completely in ruins after being breached by the orcs, and it was estimated that the orcs only carried out large-scale destruction and slaughter, even after many years, it failed to recover its vitality, and finally became a place of thieves.
If the orcs can reduce the killing of human civilians in battle, it may change the end of Dunhold's desolation in the future.
"Well, don't worry, since we orcs say it, we will definitely do it." Sal nodded earnestly.
Song Zheng immediately felt a lot more relieved, after all, Sal's character was still trustworthy.
"By the way, you should be careful when you go to attack those concentration camps again......" Song Zheng told Thrall as he left, glancing at Orgrim Doomhammer not far away.
However, even though he knew that Orgrim Doomhammer Hate might die in the rest of the battle, he couldn't explain it.
Of course, it is estimated that even if he said it, no one would believe it, but instead thought that he was cursing the orc chief.
After leaving the temporary camp of the orcs, Song Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, although the orcs were good to him, but he was the only one around, and he still felt very depressed.
When he followed the road to the vicinity of Dunhold Castle, he found that the gates of the huge castle were completely open, and many civilians were entering and leaving the castle at will.
However, what distinguishes it from other towns is that there are many guards here, and there are also a large number of patrol troops, and the weapons that gleam in the sunlight always show the people that the city is different.
In fact, when Dunhold was first established, it was only used to hold orc captives.
It is said that there was a dispute between the high-level of the human kingdom on how to deal with those orc captives, and many people advocated killing all the captives to avoid the trouble caused by orcs again in the future, but as the main force in the orc war, the paladins were against killing the enemies who had surrendered, and finally had to choose to make these orc captives slaves and imprisoned them in a centralized manner.
As for the reason for choosing to establish a concentration camp in Dunhold, it was due to the dispute between Fort Riptide and Lordaeron over the division of the post-war territory, and both sides wanted to occupy the area that originally belonged to the kingdom of Alterac, so that there was a fierce conflict, and the area of Dunhold became a buffer zone between the two, and the orc captives were also under the joint supervision of the two countries.
But over time, Dunhold has become almost the personal kingdom of Edras Blackmore.
When Song Zheng walked into the gate, which was made entirely of boulders, a guard simply casually asked him where he was from and let him into the city.
"I got into Dunhold so easily, so what's next...... It was the beginning of me that began to change the world, and the first thing that needed to be changed was Taresa ......" Song Zheng's spirit was lifted, the reason why he promised Thrall to help seize Dunhold Castle was not only to make the humans in the city finally reduce casualties, but also to change the fate of some characters, so as to start to affect the world little by little.
And Taresa happens to be such a small person...... A small person who can influence the tribal chieftain Sal!
